As far as I know, the Control Center we'll use in UNE 10.10 will be
the current incarnation shipping in GNOME, not the GNOME 3 Control
Center. I assume that like any other GNOME component, once the new
Control Center is released upstream it will land in Ubuntu Desktop.
That being said, I think it's unlikely that we will prematurely
jettison the Preferences and Application menus and introduce Ubuntu
users to the soon-to-be-replaced Control Center.

Maybe Matthew Paul Thomas can say more about the new Control Center
and when we can expect it in Ubuntu.
